Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles 64 gr. Nosler test fire

Something to consider with the 64BSB:

I've measured OAL in 5 different 223's. The longest measurement to the lands I've seen is 2.22". Most are between 2.15" and 2.19". This puts the cannelure below the case mouth. No big deal, because there is still a smidgen left before the ogive goes under.

It would be interesting to see where Nosler is loading factory ammo. If they're crimping in the cannelure, I'm betting the factory ammo is jammed in most rifles. I'm thinking they screwed the pooch on the cannelure location?

Just food for thought.....Is anybody else noticing the same results when measuring? I do like the bullet and it appears to shoot well.
